Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres has been making waves in the football world with his impressive performances this season. The 25-year-old striker has caught the eye of top clubs like Chelsea and Arsenal, with an €85m bid from the Blues being rejected by Sporting during the January transfer window.
Since his move from Coventry City last summer for €24m, Gyokeres has scored an impressive 36 goals in 39 appearances for Sporting. His stellar form has not gone unnoticed, with Portugal head coach Roberto Martinez praising him as one of the best signings in Europe this season.
Martinez’s Portugal side will face Sweden in a friendly match, where they will have to contend with Gyokeres’ goal-scoring prowess. The Swedish striker remains focused on his current club, stating that he enjoys playing for Sporting and is not stressed about any potential transfer speculation.
Despite interest from top clubs, Gyokeres remains committed to Sporting and is looking forward to what the future holds. With a release clause of €100m, it will take a significant offer to lure him away from the Portuguese club. For now, fans can enjoy watching Gyokeres continue to shine on the pitch as he cements his reputation as one of Europe’s top strikers.
